The secrets of the critically acclaimed Original Sin continue to spill out this October as the adventure continues in ORIGINAL SIN ANNUAL #1 – from Jason Latour and Enis Cisic! The information the Watcher kept has brought to light shocking secrets about Thor, Spider-Man, the Avengers and more. But perhaps the most mysterious is that of Woodrow McCord – the enigmatic, world protector who heroically gave his life in Original Sin #5 before passing the torch to Nick Fury.

Answering to no one and with the safety of an entire planet under his watch, witness the secret history of one of the Marvel Universe’s greatest architects as he shapes the world our heroes know in secret. Latour & Cisic explore the never-before-told backstory of the alien-fighting, weapon-toting, monster-brawling McCord as he safeguards the world in secret. Operating as the mysterious “Man on the Wall,” he fought the battles too big for anyone on Earth to fight. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to.

“The job is getting out there rattling cages, getting in the heads of people who want to harm Earth” says Jason Latour in an interview with Marvel.com. “Stopping trouble before it starts, by any means necessary. In the eyes of a lot of these more belligerent alien races, the Earth was ripe for the picking. It was a silent, shadow war and for quite a while McCord was the only soldier we had.”

McCord fought an endless, solitary war in secret. But did he lose his own humanity in the process? Find out as the bombastic tale of a two-fisted sci-fi pulp story of the savior of the Marvel Universe stands revealed in October’s ORIGINAL SIN ANNUAL #1!
